  1. I think he gave you the 1st number in Merrimack too. ME1.
  2. PWM actually has 2.5" officially since midnight, so that's 9th snowiest.
  3. I don't know why it drops out of the PNS sometimes.
  4. Looks like PWM has climbed into the 9th snowiest March already. This is also probably the 2nd snowiest week in March.
  5. In fairness, in my hierarchy of reports I put general public before social media. In extreme cases when someone doesn't go to spotter training (@dendrite), we'll just give them a spotter number and enter it on our own when we see the report on a message board.
  6. This one's going to knock me out of the office snow pool. I threw a 90" guess this season, and GYX is currently at 81.5" before this storm is counted.
  7. Our CON observer was like 9.5" on 0.45" in the 6 hours before 7.
  8. I mean QPF is pretty bunk from models in general, but can be either too broad (this storm) or too terrain influenced. Interesting to see even at 18z, the NAM had a low level inversion around 3-3.5 kft that could have focused some orographic differences, but the GFS had none (or nothing as strong as the NAM).
  9. I didn't see any 30" 5 day total in their record, so it really won't matter.
  10. It kind of is, it would be the snowiest week for the Durham Coop. Records back to the 1890s.
  11. Well I think there's a very small chance that anyone south of Kittery sees 5 more hours averaging 2.5/hr.
  12. You almost never see 4/hr in a widespread sense. Maybe I could consider it on a county level, but within the whole band, no. We've had some reports of 8 and 9" in 3 hours so far, but 3.6 in 60 min was the highest report we've received.
  13. It should still rip in the band. The question is whether you can pull off much more than an hour under it as it starts to pull east. If you assume 1 to 3/hr, that gives you maybe 2-4, 3-6 in the most optimistic scenario.
  14. Looks like it could be a top 10 type storm for ASH-MHT
  15. Check out the mid level WV loop. You can really see some vortices ripping back westward north and west of the main surface low, in the shear zone of the cold conveyor. I love me some GOES-16.
  16. Mid level magic FTW. 700-500 f-gen seems a good proxy for this band right now, and the RAP is only slow to pull that east over the next several hours.
  17. Saw that, but 5 min obs show it's been less than predominate. Sort of dumb luck with the top of the hour being at criteria.
  18. It actually takes a crap load of work to weed out the bad reports and reports that make the map look stupid. So resources are better used updating the forecast, briefings, and taking in reports. It's a treat that BOX even puts the effort in mid storm.
